Trading Blog

Below is not your traditional trader's blog in the usual blog format.
However, you will find informative commentary on a few occasions as time
permits and such will
contain trading tips that should help your trading as I attempt to sum up my
thoughts as I traversed from the first trade to the last trade that was
posted in #FuturesTrades realtime trade posting chat room.

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that our minds
is more efficient at multitasking when our eye movements do the tasks via
either left to right (right to left) in comparison to up to down (down to
up).

I experimented today with up to down (down to up) and
it was not efficient trading and there was a delay in my trade reversal
reaction to volatility price action spikes on my charts...delays I normally
do not have when analyzing what's on my monitors with eye movements left to
right (right to left).

I'm also suggesting that our monitors (workspace) or
our computer desk layout will have an impact on our trading results if such
causes lag in your trade decisions.

If I sound ridiculous, try it...go ahead and change
your workstation to a layout you do not like nor feel comfortable with.

Next...trade with your money on the line via that new
workspace that's uncomfortable.

You'll understand the importance of what I'm saying
and/or determine its a risk your unwilling to take especially with your hard
earned money on the line as an experiment.

With that said...I received some sad news today
(personal) and most likely will be take some personal time away from the
market to be with relatives in another country.

trading) shown above are that

Note:
Each month there are a few trading days that we consider to involve
interconnecting key price
action of different markets and such is represented by a particular type of
price action from one of the key markets. You can view the charts and their
clues that's associated with the
key price action at our
key market archives.

edge to help you traverse around obstacles to profitable trading...a method

As traders we must treat our trading like a
business if we are to succeed as traders and as a business. Therefore,
waiting till the last few weeks March to prepare for April's taxes is not
good for your trading and could put extra stress on your trading during tax
month or the months that follow if your one of those traders that filed an
extension.. Therefore, its best to be on top of your taxes throughout the
year and
Traders Accounting
is a great resource for such especially if you want to prevent penalties or
an audit several years from now.

Mentally getting away from trading is much
harder to do in comparison to physically getting away from trading when its
time for some rest and relaxation. Personally, one of my favorite ways to
mentally rest is to watch movies I've copy & recorded from the local video
store via mySlysoft
software that copies any copyright protected dvd's and cd's.

I don't always trade nor monitor the market from my home
office. Sometimes I'll do such from one of my favorite nearby Wi-Fi hotspot
or whenever I'm traveling via using this little Wi-Fi detection gadget I got
from Think Geek
that will show more than just the presence of any nearby signal and its signal
strength. It has a 12-character LCD that provides information on
signal availability and strength as well as essential network information,
including SSID, security status and channel. When multiple networks are
present the LCD me to scroll through information for each
network.
